Ranking the top 100 superhero movies was no small feat. While this genre of storytelling used to be niche, largely reserved for the occasional blockbuster, it’s now become one of the most dominant genres in movie history.

Our team at Tom’s Guide has been debating back and forth for months and while we — surprisingly — were pretty quickly able to land on a cut-off point (sorry, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”) picking the 100 movies that were worthy of making the cut took a lot of discussion and analysis.
